Full set: 60 questions
Answer options
A: Alt (Windows! / Shift (macOS) + left arrow
B: Alt (Windows) / Option (macOS) + up arrow key
C: Control (Windows) / Command (macOS) + left bracket key
D: Control (Windows) / Option (macOS) + left arrow
Correct Answer:
NONE OF THE LISTED OPTIONS (THE DEFAULT SHORTCUT IS CTRL + ALT + LEFT-ARROW ON WINDOWS OR COMMAND + OPTION + LEFT-ARROW ON MACOS.)
Explanation

With an edit point selected as a Roll edit (red brackets), Premiere Pro uses the Trim-Roll commands. Adobe’s official keyboard-shortcut table lists “Roll left one frame” as:
• Windows – Ctrl + Alt + Left-arrow
• macOS – Command + Option + Left-arrow None of the four choices in the question contains this exact modifier-and-key combination for both platforms, so no listed option is correct.

Why Incorrect

A. Alt/Shift + Left-arrow: Alt/Option alone nudges a clip; it does not perform a Roll trim.
B. Alt/Option + Up-arrow: Up-arrow moves the playhead to the previous edit; no trim is executed.
C. Ctrl/Command + Left-bracket: Bracket keys set In/Out points in Source/Program monitors, unrelated to timeline Roll trimming.
D. Ctrl (Win) or Option (mac) + Left-arrow: Lacks the second required modifier (Alt on Win, Command on macOS); does not invoke Roll trim.
